Ongoing Research 進行中的研究

Reiki and Surgery 靈氣和手術

Perhaps most importantly, increasing research allows Western healthcare practitioners to see quantifiable data about the effects of Reiki on patients with a variety of conditions. The largest ongoing study of Reiki in the clinical setting continues to be conducted at Columbia/HCA Portsmouth Regional Hospital, Portsmouth, NH, where more than 8,000 surgical patients have been given pre- and post-surgery Reiki treatments. Reiki is incorporated into their admission procedure and is also administered during transport to surgery. Treatments are given by trained RNs, physical therapists, technicians and support staff.

也許最重要的是，越來越多的研究允許西醫從業人員看到許多狀況下有關靈氣對患者的影響的可量化的數據。在臨床上的靈氣最大正在進行的研究仍然被新罕布什爾州的哥倫比亞/ HCA樸次茅斯地區醫院進行著，有超過8000例的手術病患已獲得手術前和手術後的靈氣治療。靈氣被納入他們的招生程序並在運輸到手術的過程中施用。此療程是由訓練有素的護士，物理治療師，技術人員和助手給出。

Research results continue to be consistent. All the patients in this study who received Reiki had the need for less anesthesia, had less bleeding during surgery, used less pain medications, had shorter lengths of stay in the hospital, and indicated greater satisfaction with their hospital experience than other patients.

研究成果仍然是一致的。所有在這項研究中接收靈氣的患者，需要較少的麻醉，手術期間出血少，止痛藥用量變少了，住院的時間縮短，並指出相較於其他患者，他們在醫院的經驗更加的滿意。

Reiki for Pain Management 靈氣對疼痛管理

The Cross Cancer Institute in Edmonton, Canada, conducted a study on the effects of Reiki with 20 oncology patients in chronic pain. Study supervisors used both a VAS (visual analog scale) and Likert scale to measure pain before and after Reiki, and their conclusion was that Reiki greatly improved pain levels.

加拿大埃德蒙頓的跨癌症研究所與20名腫瘤患者進行了靈氣與慢性疼痛的影響研究。研究監督員同時使用一個VAS（視覺類比量表）和李克特量表來測量靈氣前和靈氣後疼痛指數，他們的結論是，靈氣大大改善了疼痛的程度。

Reiki and Oncology 靈氣和腫瘤

Other research with oncology patients shows that Reiki speeds up the elimination of toxins, improves immune response, helps manage side effects of chemotherapy and radiation, and helps reduce the inevitable fear and anxiety that accompanies a cancer diagnosis.

與腫瘤患者的其他研究表明，靈氣加快消除毒素，改善免疫反應，幫助控制化療和放療的副作用，並有助於減少癌症診斷時，那不可避免的恐懼和憂慮。

Reiki and the Heart 靈氣與心臟

The Section of Cardiology, Department of Internal Medicine, at Yale University conducted a study to determine if Reiki would improve Heart Rate Variability (HRV) in patients recovering from acute coronary syndrome. Reiki is an ongoing clinical program offered on Yale-New Haven Hospital cardiac units, so the Reiki therapists in this study were 5 Reiki-trained nurses already employed in that program. To compare Reiki to musical intervention and resting control, continuous electrocardiographic readings were obtained for 12 control, 13 music, and 12 Reiki patients. The change with Reiki was significantly greater than with music (p=0.007) or resting (p=0.025).

耶魯大學的心血管內科，進行一項研究，以確定是否將靈氣是否能改善急性冠心症患者的心率變異性（HRV）。耶魯-紐黑文醫院心臟部門提供了一個進行中的臨床計畫就是靈氣，所以本研究中的靈氣治療師是5位已在該部門中就業受過靈氣培訓的護士。比較了12位靈氣組與13位音樂介入組和12位休息組，連續的心電圖讀數。靈氣的改善幅度為比音樂（p值=0.007）或休息（p值=0.025）顯著更大。

Reiki and Chronic Illnesses 靈氣與慢性病

Several studies on Reiki and chronic illness indicate improvement in spleen, lymphatic and nervous system function in patients with multiple sclerosis, lupus, fibromyalgia and thyroid disorder, as well as better management of symptoms in patients with AIDS, chronic fatigue syndrome, and sleep disorders.

靈氣和慢性疾病的一些研究指出，能顯著改善多發性硬化症、狼瘡、纖維肌痛和甲狀腺病症患者的脾臟、淋巴和神經系統功能，以及使AIDS、慢性疲勞綜合症和睡眠障礙患者更好控制疾病的症狀。
